Dining Design: Restaurant Arras
Paul Smith pinstripes, neon perspex and graffiti art meet in this fine dining restaurant without the pretension. In my new series about restaurant and bar interiors, I took a closer look at Arras in Sydney’s CBD, which manages not to take itself too seriously.
I sat down for a fantastic lunch with Liz Boyd of Colourmark Design, the designer behind the space, which used to house Justin North’s Becasse. A year after moving from its tricky Walsh Bay location (where it had a loyal but underground following) to prime CBD real estate, business has never been better and Arras’ design was just this month highly commended in the Eat-Drink-Design Awards.
